Former child star Gary Coleman has been arrested on a charge of domestic assault. The 41-year-old Diff'rent Strokes actor was booked at his home in Santaquin, Utah, after a civil disturbance, according to reports in the U.S. The 4ft 8in star is currently being held on $1,725 bail at the Utah County Jail as a result of an outstanding warrant for a prior incident. The victim of the assault has not yet been revealed.
Coleman is married to Shannon Price, who is almost half his age - and almost twice his height. The pair wed in a private mountaintop ceremony in Nevada in August 2007 and Coleman revealed it was not only his first marriage, but also the first time he had been intimate with a woman. Coleman, who rose to fame as Arnold Jackson in the US sitcom, met Price, 24, while he was filming 2006 movie Church Ball in Utah.
He admitted in 2008 that their relationship was at times volatile. He said: 'We may go a week and not speak to each other.' In July last year, Price was arrested after a domestic violence incident involving the actor. Coleman has had numerous problems since Diff'rent Strokes came to an end in 1986.
